last weekend i went to London with my 2 best friends, and we pootled around Greenwich Market, nattering and catching up, and generally having a nice day out - i don't see these 2 friends as much as i would like to...we met here in Norwich at the Art School (and as i text them both the other day...that was 17 years ago)...after our course had finished they went back to their home towns and i stayed in Norwich...so when we meet up, it's always a special time and i think we all come away feeling very inspired by all things creative and just having like-minded people to bounce ideas off is fab and refreshing...

another bonus of this particular trip was a belated b'day pressie i needed to pick up...and what a bobby dazzler it was:

what a lovely book it is...(so much so, even Head of Finance spent 10 minutes looking through it...)

so..Miss T and Mr R have now started school full time....they did 2 weeks of piddling about (2 mornings each week) and now it's down to the business of full days...it's only tuesday but last night Miss T went to bed saying "i can't wait to go to school tomorrow"...good stuff. I decided to have them in separate reception classes...just to give them both a chance to grow their own little personalities and not be lumped together as 'the twins'...i thought they might miss eachother yesterday, but spent our walk to the park after school boasting about what they had both done in their separate classes...this then led to an argument because Mr R had made a 'bug type head dress thingy-ma-jig' and Miss T insisted that she made one as soon as we got home...happy days eh!!!

i'm always amazed when i'm in bed at night and i think about the day just gone and how much i have squeezed in...it's important to me to have a bit of time to do what i like in the evenings, and with the small people on holiday and going to bed a little later these days, i can often be found sat in bed crocheting at midnight and beyond...(ever the romantic eh?!)

About Me

i am a stay at home mum with 3 rather gorgeous children - Zak is 8 and twins Reuben and Tallulah are 5...we live in a very nice, not too big, not too small (and slightly wonky) victorian house in Norfolk...we have been 'doing up' the house for 8 years now...i love it, i really do, i like to change bits and bobs to suit my mood (frequently) and i don't ever think it will be a 'finished project'...but hey, when it comes to interiors, thats just not my style!
